Christmas Party

At the annual Ohira Christmas party this year, the girls were really able to enjoy themselves. They had a blast playing with the other little kids and running all over the place.

One of the big kids finally had to step in an help to break it - here are the kids picking up the candy

There was even a special visit from Santa at the party - he looks so familiar!

The girls had no idea who he was, but they willingly sat on his lap so they could receive their gifts

Fun with Miya

Miya and her family have been home for the holidays and the girls have really enjoyed spending time with her. They really miss her and can't wait to see her again in April.

Maddie, Miya and Katie - a quick break from snack time

Their favorite things to do are "ride the pony" (1 rides and the other 2 jump up and down cheering 'ride the pony!' while they wait for their turn) and playing princess

BFFs - Miya and Maddie hugs =)

Thomas loves Lucy

We made a gingerbread house - a lot of the candies and icing got eaten during the creation of the house

a work in progress

Miya liked to eat the red door - it was made of fondant

The finished project - Thomas and Maddie had a bite of the man's head

Fashion Show Time

The girls were invited to be in the Nordstrom children's fashion show - what an experience that was. Surprisingly, Maddie was very shy and ran to the back as soon as she saw the people. Katie was happy to be there (since she was holding a balloon) and even waved at the crowds.
